i've either heard my uncle's leaving or his getting ready to depart. if i wasn't so familiar with the zealous happiness afforded to the mormon culture, he might come off as a bit stuck. but they're all stuck, them, stuck in happy mormon mode. gah, let it rain a bit, yeah? shine them streets up...

i've been up again whoring out on last.fm's similar artist radio feature. this morning brought to you by the fleet foxes. and rory allen phillips. and so on and so forth. unless there's actually a band called so on and so forth. they could be currently converging upon a garage somewhere, wondering where the fuck their drummer is...

i'm probably not gonna listen to these albums for the most part. taylor transported the geo back to sand city, and good riddance, but there were a few times i was stupid and drove it and listened to mexican radio stations, and i miss that. i like yeasayer now. and dr. dog...

anyway. my gramama came to southern california to take care of us as children while my mom checked herself into a month-long psychiatric retreat, and elisa started doing better in school. i thought i remembered living in corona. at least enough so that if my mom disappeared for a month i'd recall it. i just remember other stuff so well it seems like i would. but no...

without reason, and all throughout the night, i ate double fudge chocolate cake...
